GM EV600 Brightdrop van. 250 miles of range and pure electric. Except you can’t seem to buy them. No prices are listed.

That slope means slippery to the air. 

It’s called ‘collusion’, folks. Not quite a monopoly, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a small group of companies happy to just keep jacking up the prices. There is absolutely no free market happening here.

This sounds like an electrical/control issue and not anything serious. Honda will fix their shit.

That new electric Silverado is looking pretty good. Toss a canopy on it and with the rear pass through it transforms from a truck to a trades van. That’s a win in my books and it’s my leading contender.

GM decided to use a REAR MOUNTED TIMING BELT on the 3.0 Duramax. I hope they remove their heads from their rectal cavities and realize that having to remove a transmission to change a oil pump timing belt is one of the biggest ‘f**k you’ moves they have ever made.

And $25 is the high end of what that game is worth. It’s kinda oooookay but it’s no Far Cry 4.

Do this on your motorcycle. Preferably an adventure touring bike. Ride to good weather. Ride towards interesting smells and sights. When I hit the border on a trip like this I’m totally honest.

That is a perfect Hummer grade FUCK YOU to all the other people needing a single electric car charging slot.

Know guys who own logging trucks? They often replace the leaf springs with composite springs as they are the only springs that seem to handle hauling 80K GVW trucks full of logs over rough roads all day long.

KTM and catastrophic mechanical failure goes together like Air Show and Disaster.

Unexplained fires are for the courts to decide!

GM’s EV division getting into bed with Honda gives me hope. I used to work for Honda and their specifications for tracking and fixing issues is serious. So far, except for the LG battery fire issues (Same as in Hyundais) the GM electric vehicles seem extremely reliable.

Ex Honda Mechanic here. Those were some of the best vehicles of that era. Especially with a manual. It totally transforms the driving experience. If I didn’t need a heavier duty vehicle I would have bought one in a second. I did steer several friends towards them.

2006 Honda Civic SiR. Peak Civic.

2 years ago I would have happily bought a brand new Astro van if I could get one. Same thing. Minimal luxury, maximum utility.

100 miles of city range? Electrics get far better city than highway range so I am guessing 70 miles of highway if you are lucky?

A mid size?!? The perfect size! Full size vans are stupid in cities. The mid size van market was brilliant. But the auto makers stopped making them so they could sell us big giant stupid vans. The last full size new chevy van I was driving was getting 22l/100km in stop and go city driving and 13l/100km on the highway.…

The lack of electric van interest from the manufacturers is sad and pathetic. I’m spending $500-$600/mo CAD dumping fuel into my trades van. A $1000/mo payment on a $50k van would be a bargain.

Do you know what would be even better? A mechanical device that locks the steering so you can’t push the car around a corner and strip it.
